Ronald George Chimelak, 75, was found with a single gunshot wound to his chest at his Macomb Township condominium in November 2015. His wife, Julie Kay Chimelak, then 61, placed a 911 call saying she had accidentally shot him; deputies arriving found her attempting CPR. Ronald was taken to Henry Ford Macomb Hospital and pronounced dead.

Investigators recovered a .357 caliber Smith & Wesson revolver in a bedroom. What began as an accidental-shooting report became a homicide investigation and Julie Chimelak was arrested and later charged by the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office with second-degree murder, manslaughter, and felony firearm. She asserted she had been a victim of domestic abuse and had bipolar disorder; investigators said the scene’s physical evidence did not indicate she was in immediate danger when the shot was fired.

A judge ordered a competency evaluation at the state Center for Forensic Psychiatry and set bond at $750,000 cash or surety; court proceedings were paused pending the psychiatric examination. Does anyone have additional information about the case or about Ronald’s life and activities in Macomb Township?
